Pretty sure it has no ribs either.

Mike, I have an older NOS GM hose in the garage and NO, it does not have the woven look like your original. Skip's has the same similar look on his survivor. I do not remember this for 68's but apparently missed something. LOL

Thank You Chick, You are 100 % correct, I looked at the 1 at shop, it’s probably 10 years old, it’s not even close and has no ribs.

No ribs on my 86k mile 68Z (LOS) w/ clamps

Steve had posted some excellent info concerning dated cars on a CRG thread:

Chick here's another 68 datapoint. The 68 time capsule I owned had what appears to be a non-ribbed hose and original assembly line 736C PCV. I'll see if I have any better pics. The hose skin is not as woven/alligatored as the ribbed. The clamp has the radiused end.....

My good friend Skip took his hose off his 68Z survivor and no, it does not have any ribs. He's the 2nd owner and a local car just like his 69Z. Car was taken off the street around 1973/4 so we have a high level of confidence its the original piece. Note the hose skin look!
Steve, thanks for other data point. That clamp change will remain a mystery.
